Crafted from richly coloured malachite glass, the piece features three stylised winged horses supporting the bowl, a motif inspired by classical mythology and characteristic of the decorative elegance of the Art Deco period.

The translucent green glass beautifully imitates the appearance of natural malachite stone, a signature feature of Schlevogt's luxury pressed glass production. The sculptural composition combines geometric Art Deco aesthetics with dynamic figurative elements, creating a highly decorative and collectible object.

Produced in Gablonz (Jablonec nad Nisou), one of the most important centres of Bohemian glassmaking, this model is among the most sought-after designs from the Ingrid range and represents a fine example of pre-war Czech decorative glass. See less
